10 Places At Cleveland State University To Grab A Cup Of Coffee When You’re In A Rush

I drink coffee every morning. I make specialty coffee for a living at the moment. Basically, my life is coffee, so when I was brainstorming ideas for this week's article I thought "COFFEE." Here are ten cool coffee spots worth your time whether you're a Cleveland State student, staff, or simply in town!

1. Outtakes Quick Cuisine

This little convenient store on campus sells coffee in a convenient location on campus for students walking between buildings in the inner link. It's on the second floor of the student center but they only sell drip coffee so it is not considered a café. However, if you just need a quick cup of joe on your way to your next class, this is the spot for you!

2. Viking Grounds

Another convenient coffee spot on campus is Viking Grounds. Unlike Outtakes, Viking Grounds sells specialty coffee's like lattes and mochas. It's on the first floor of the student center and the staff is very friendly!

3. Business Perks

Business Perks is located in the Monte Ahuja College (Business Building) on the first floor. This café is branded with Starbucks coffee, but they do not use the same ingredients as Starbucks.

4. Café Ah-Roma

A similar set up as the TV sitcom "Friends," Café Ah-Roma has couches and tables for their customers to relax in while they enjoy a cup of coffee. Café Ah-Roma prioritizes customer service and is conveniently located across from the Science and Research building next to Trinity Cathedral.

5. The Link

Another coffee spot in the inner link for convenience has drip coffees, "Seattle's Best," the same coffee as Outtakes.

6. Bloom

Behind Burgers 2 Beers is a little bakery that has been open for two years. They sell specialty coffees like lattes, espresso, mochas, etc. My personal favorite is the hazelnut americano!

7. Joe Maxx

Notorious for their coffee on campus, Joe Maxx sells specialty coffees and breakfast items. A fun coffee to try from here is an americano au la breve. Joe Maxx offers a 10% student discount and has punch cards where you purchase five coffees or teas and receive the sixth for free!

8. Constantino's

Attached to a popular living option for students at CSU, the Edge, Constantino's sells specialty coffees and drip coffees. Their staff is always super friendly and their lattes are exceptional.

9. Corbo's Bakery

Located in Playhouse Square, Corbo's bakery sells specialty coffees and pastries. No cap, their cookies are life changing. Forget their coffee and buy cookies, you won't regret it.

10. Starbucks

We all know good old Starbucks. This franchise is in Playhouse Square and if we are being honest, you can't go wrong with Starbucks. Personally, I'm a local coffee shop type of gal but like I said: you can't go wrong with Starbucks.

I went on a hunt where I walked four miles on campus tracking down every single coffee spot I could find. There are a million. So rather than taking up everyone's time with an article filled with fifty different coffee places, I picked the ten most convenient coffee spots on campus that stuck out to me. Here are a few other spots that are definitely worth checking out though if you like trying new coffee places!

  • The Market Café and Wine Bar
  • Pour
  • Hatfield's Goode Grub
  • Restore Cold Press
  • Phuel Café
  • Bon Appetit

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.
